my fathers crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. the next spring there were none. i missed the crocuses. i would ask dad to come over and plant new bulbs. but i never did. he died suddenly one october day. my family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. i missed him terribly. four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon i was driving back when i found myself feeling depressed. “youve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” i told myself. it was dads birthday, and i found myself thinking about him. this was not unusual - my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. once i saw him give his coat to a homeless man. suddenly i slowed as i turned into our driveway. i stopped and stared at the lawn. and there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus. how could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? but there was the crocus. tears filled my eyes as i realized its significance.hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. the pink crocus bloomed for only a day. but it built my faith for a lifetime.41. according to the first three paragraphs, we learn that _.a. the writer was unpacking when her father was making the surpriseb. the writer knew what the surprise was because she knew her fatherc. it was not the first time that the writers father had made a surprised. it kept bothering the writer not knowing what the surprise was42. which of the following would most probably be the worst time of the year as seen by the writer?a. spring.b. summer.c. autumn.d. winter.43. which of the following is not true, according to the passage?a. the writers father planted the crocus to lift her low spirit.b. the crocuses bloomed each spring before the writers father died.c. the writer often thought about her father since her father died.d. the writers father died some years after he planted the crocus.44. the writers father should be best described as_.a. a full-time gardener with skillful handsb. a part-time jobber who loved flowersc. a kind-hearted man who lived with faithd. an ordinary man with doubts in his life45. crocus was viewed as the symbol of _ by the writer.a. faithb. familyc. loved. friendshipb we can stay young forever. that is the message dr. shen ziyin wants to give the world. and the chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging. his solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging. dr. shen ziyin has been trained in western medicine. at the same time he studied traditional chinese medicine. and, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. he has taken a hint from the ancient chinese medicine system called “shen”.according to shen, it is the kidney（肾脏）which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. it is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. studies conducted by dr. shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in the telegraph newspaper.we notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. this happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce t-cells. these t-cells contain a particular substance called fas. fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.so the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of t-cells in the body. this can happen if people eat low calorie food. then the body is not active enough to produce extra t-cells. but, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?this is where dr. shens herbal medicine comes in. but how effective it will be, only time can tell.46. how did dr. shen find the solution to the problem of aging?a. by studying western medicine.b. by learning traditional chinese medicine.c. by combining both western and chinese medicine.d. by doing research on both western and chinese people.47. what plays the most important role in keeping people young according to shen?

a. how to adjust himself to reality. b. building up assurance that he can find his place in life. c. learning to manage his life alone. d. how to invent a successful variation of baseball.52. according to the context, “a chair rocker on the front porch” in paragraph 3 means that the author _ a. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.b. would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair.c. would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.d. would sit in a chair and stay at home.53.according to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man _ a. hurt the authors feeling. b. gave the author a deep impression. c. directly led to the invention of ground ball. d. inspired the author.54what is the best title for the passage?
